I disagree. I think the solution is to follow the examples of Goldwater and Reagan and take the Republican Party back. There’s a reason why no third party has achieved majority status since 1860.

That is one avenue. But I found out there is no requirement to leave your party to join the Falcons, so there you have it.

"I think the solution is to follow the examples of Goldwater and Reagan and take the Republican Party back."

I agree wholeheartedly, but the answer is not for us to vote for McCain just because we hate Hillary more! Then if McCain does win, the GOP will think things are just fine and dandy. We need to toughen up and let the Democrats have this one to send a message to the GOP, so maybe we can try again in 4 years with a real candidate. As Rush says, the Democrats can't destroy the country in a mere presidential term. Hopefully by that time McCain will be drinking soup from a straw and we can stop this stupid entitlement nomination crap (aka "Bob Dole '96 version 2.0").

Besides, given McCain's record, I don't see a huge difference if he were in the White House versus Clinton. He votes with the Democrats anyway. He supports amnesty. He doesn't like SC justices like Alito. He's a complete baby when he doesn't get his way. He wants to shut down Guantanamo. And last but not least, he hates conservatives.

I'd rather spork my eyes out than vote for him.
